In addition to a history of unparalleled love songs from The Lettermen, here is another constant: Tony Butala, original and founding member.

Butala remained with the popular vocal group for its 50-plus year career. As the only founding member in the trio (Butala, Donovan Tea and Bobby Poynton), Butala, 73, said as long as there is a Lettermen group, they will be singing good, quality and positive harmony music that the whole family can enjoy.
How has the trio managed to keep the sound, the genre and popularity?

âBecause I am the lead on most of the hit records,â he said candidly.
